Just a question, is the back area of the Watch series 7 bigger or the same size as the series 6. that is the part with the sensors?
Got a tip for us?

I have not measured but I assume it's the same as that is where the charging puck fits and that is the same size since AW0
There was no changes to health sensors from S6 to S7. Both are identical in function and size
I mean, that is entirely up to you whether you get an AW7, but, WHY is this a reason? Curious…
Sometimes the blood oxygen level doesn't work. I thought if a bigger area in the sensor, or a smaller on, it might be more focused. The watch runs great, holds the charge, has the current updates. I am going to wait until the sensor has something I can use such as glucose readings, but then again.... it might only read a non evasive attached probe. Not really non evasive, they do have a tiny probe that goes into the skin. Oh well, I can wait, and if I should kick off, well it won't matter. I do know when I do change, it is going to be red. arghhhh
The blood oxygen is pretty poor. I would absolutely not consider it as part of buying criteria, only a "side feature". Hopefully that is improved in the S8.
That I shall. It seems with Apple they rush a lot of things out before they have been really tested
